Re: Nicholas and Maria Catherine (Vogel) Kramer:

I am searching for my ancestors in my birthplace, Allentown, from the proceedings of the Lehigh County Historical Society. I found a sketch about Nicholas and his dealings in land and cattle. The sketch was written by Chas. W. Weiser about 1924. In the article it stated that Thomas J. Kramer, great- grandson of Nicholas, grandson of Joseph, has the baptismal certificates of Nicholas and his wife.

Nicholas was the son of Heinrich Kramer, who got a land grant in Bethlehem Township on Nov. 12, 1748, and, according to Chas. Robert's "History of Lehigh County," was the progenitor of the Kramers in Allentown.

Since I am a fourth-generation grandson of Nicholas, I am very interested in seeing the baptismal certificates for strictly genealogical reasons. Since I live in Philadelphia, I can be reached through A.J. Anderko, Bethlehem (866-2776), or Lehigh County Historical Society. I hope this reaches the right Kramer.
